Last year, 125,230 applications were made to study law at degree
level. One fifth of these, 25,050, ended in an aspiring lawyer accepting
their place at a higher education provider. While it’s tempting to assume this means only one in every five law school applicants is successful, this isn’t the case.

(four for medicine, dentistry and veterinary science). This means the
number of applicants will be closer to the number of acceptances, rather
than the number of applications actually received by UCAS.

For some time, the myth that law is a super competitive course has
begun to be dispelled. LLB places have gone up and up in recent years,
